Antibiotics are designed to kill harmful bacteria and help the body recover from infection. But some antibiotics may also ...

Bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) are membrane-bound particles between 20 and 400 nanometers (nm) in size that are secreted by bacteria. BEVs carry bioactive agents that mediate cell-to-cell ...

A new perspective work reveals insights into the development of bacterial biofilms, highlighting how these communities adapt to environmental stress through complex interactions between physical and ...

Our bodies’ mucosal tissues are constantly exposed to bacteria. When tumors form at these sites, such as in colorectal cancer (CRC) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), normal epithelial barriers ...

Researchers engineer bacterial vesicles into multifunctional tools to kill pathogens, boost vaccines, and deliver targeted therapies Antibiotic ...

Researchers at Umeå University have discovered that the microscopic "bubbles" released by bacteria in our body do not just drift around randomly. Instead, they use the thin protrusions of cells as a ...

Biofilm-resident bacteria and fungi are significantly more tolerant to conventional antibiotics. The extracellular polymeric substance matrix acts as a ...

A biohybrid nanorobot pairs a bacterial virus with catalytic nanoparticles to destroy drug-resistant biofilms and shred the ...

Research reveals how invisible nanoparticles manipulate cellular messengers, undermining your gut’s delicate microbiome, raising new questions about the unseen health risks of environmental ...
